"Woman and War Work" by Helen Fraser is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically during World War I. The book discusses the critical roles women played during the war effort, emphasizing their contributions in various sectors, including nursing, munitions, and support for soldiers. It reflects the unity and spirit of women throughout the allied nations, showcasing their sacrifices and determination in the face of adversity. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for the themes of resilience and cooperation among women as they mobilized to support their countries during wartime. It begins with a foreword that praises the efforts of women, highlighting Miss Fraser's lectures at Vassar College, which encouraged American women to join the war effort. Following this, the first chapter articulates the collective spirit of women—mirroring that of men—asserting their shared determination for freedom and democracy. Furthermore, it outlines the extensive involvement of women in various capacities, from nursing to industrial roles, detailing the emotional toll of the war on women who faced daily anxieties while juggling work, loss, and support for their loved ones on the front lines.
